Guys,
Need help here.
I’m not a trout/salmon guy, whatsoever!
Especially through the ice.
No clue on how it is done.
With that said, I’ve been invited, through work, to ice fish a lake, for lakers.
How do ya do it?
What do you recommend for gear?
What type of baits are prefered (jigs, spoons, live bait?)
Line preference (mono vs hard-line)
Line weights?
Rod size/length/action?
baitcaster/spinning reel?
If using live bait, what is preferred?
I’m assuming one doesn’t setup a tip-up, cause a 20lb laker would burn your fingers off on a run, while handlining?
What are typical patterns for the fish this time of year?
I’m fishing Grindstone Lake up by Sandstone in Pine County. So any tips for that lake would be GREATLY appreciated!
PS: The one who gives me the best info can have all the fish I catch, because I really don’t care to eat salmon or trout!
